My last post was political, sorry. I just wonder why shoud I buy the game for the same price you pay in America to get it later (some might already finished it in this time). Why is there this difference and why you think it is ok? Please I really just wonder... and as this franchise is the only game I love this is the first time I regognize it.

Not being in the game industry i don't know but it might have to do with local and intentional laws.

As for the waiting. I mean i know it's annoying. It's annoying waiting for it for a week when people are already playing it. But for me it looks worth that wait.

If i were you I'd research and try and find out why release dates are different in Europe and the U.S./ Canada, find out who is responsible and petition them to change the practice.

And for what it's worth, I feel your pain right now because I play on PS4, so I do not have the option to purchase EA Early Access like the XBox One and PC players do. So, like you, I'm sitting here watching threads of people playing the game right now, but I have to wait until March 21st to get my PS4 copy.

It's not great and there isn't really a good excuse for it now. Worldwide release is becoming more common thankfully.

Yeah, I bought it already with 21th, but the confirmation mail came back with 23, for me it would be ok, if there is an discount for the people which need to wait (no reason known yet). Mass Effect is the only game I bought pre-release yet and didn't bother yet. But this time I really feel betrayed because of the selling/confirmation tactic.

So should everyone else, for every game.

Well, creating this thread is my first step doing so. This is for sure no legal issue from my opinion, only wanted from EA whyever?
